What: BCCCPA is looking for SELLERS that will bring their stuff, register in support of our charity and then donate their proceeds at the end for a tax deductible receipt! We’re also looking for lots of BUYERS… so help us spread the word!

Our best ever Car Boot – “Loot in the Boot” (a.k.a. “Junk in the Trunk”) type Garage Sale was hosted at the VCC – Vancouver Community College parking lot (on Great Northern Way, 2 blocks west of Clark Drive) on a beautiful Sunday in July of 2013!

I am involved in a Yarn and Knitting/CROCHET Supply Sale which is going to be held at the Floral Hall, Van Dusen Gardens on Sunday, September 23 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The incredible inventory has been generously donated by John Sisler whose wife, Deanna, passed away in 2016 (Deanna had an on-line knitting business). All the proceeds from the sale are being donated to The British Columbia Childhood Cancer Parents’ Association (bcccpa.org). BCCCPA is a registered non-profit charitable society, whose mission is to help families who have children with cancer and who are struggling financially by providing them with aid through the Family Financial Aid Program.

If you are a knitter/crocheter, you will find an amazing selection of not just yarn, but also supplies, patterns, buttons etc. at up to 75% off retail prices. If you aren’t a knitter, perhaps you would like to take it up …. or perhaps you could pass the information on to someone you know who does knit/crochet and would be interested in coming? Any help to get the word out on the event would be much appreciated.

The British Columbia Childhood Cancer Parent’s Association (BCCCPA) is the “Charity of Choice” for the Coast to Coast Against Cancer’s “Inside Ride” BCCCPA – Surrey, on Friday October 13th, 2017, which is hosted at the Cloverdale Recreation Centre (6188 – 176th Street – Surrey, BC).

We need your support for the ”Inside Ride” and we’re hoping that your business/company &
possibly your staff – (include family & friends) would consider helping in any one of these ways:

A) Sign up a team of 4-6 riders who fundraise and ride for 10 minutes each on their stationary
bikes (like a spin-a-thon), and have lots of fun while joining us in our fundraising efforts.

B) Donate an Item, Gift or Gift Certificate from your business for the Prizes given out to the
Inside Ride participants – and get your company listed as a “Supporter” on our website for at
least one year!
